Marmite film?

Rating: 3/10 (27 July 2013)

Not quite sure what to make of the other comments here. I didn't rate the film at all, its an over the top rehash of the independence day genre - same plot but set with the 'aliens' coming from a different place and in different form...
The script was too cheesy and the acting was ott. This may be a bit hard for some but being a sci-fi I still expect some element of possibility to be part of the plot, but this has none.
For starters, if we had the ability to build these machines, why the hell would we spend millions and suffer the limiting failure that is the mild melding, without just piloting them remotely or via drone technology? We'd then be able to mass produce them and have an army instead of just 7? I actually laughed when the major (or Marshall I forget) gives his big speech.. you know then and there that he's taking the Randy Quaid character and will end up sacrificing himself.. Yeah sorry, this wasn't Hollywood's finest hour. 3/10 from me - mainly for the special effects and because it's sunny outside..
